What connection (hdmi etc) should i use for 120hz

4737Joker · 30 Oct 2013 at 17:47

Just picked up the Asus VG278HE 27" TRUE 144Hz 3D Widescreen LED Monitor which was in the b-grade section for £240 (hope it's ok).

I remember reading somewhere that for a monitor to run at 120hz you had to use a certain cable, i think it was display port?

Anyway i'm sure you lovely people are more in the know than i am and will correct me if i'm wrong

Dual link DVI or DisplayPort for 120hz 1080p

depends on your graphics card support and what the monitor offers as well. Monitors aimed at NVIDIA users (for NVIDIA 3D etc) generally come with dual-link DVI interfaces, to match what NIVIDA graphics cards tend to have,. monitors designed for AMD cards generally have DisplayPort instead, again to match AMD cards output
